Haha. I think Augments will win, followed closely by Borg. Dominion will be left far, far behind.
Well there will definitely be another Seven in a Tuesday pack at the end of the mega. And by making Fenris Ranger Seven a super rare people will have to buy packs to finish her.
Edit: wait, there's not necessarily a faction bonus after a hybrid, right? Never mind then, as you were!
Not necessarily. I can think of at least three ways that players can fully fuse a super-rare card without buying packs:
1. 4* Citation from free track of Campaign;
2. Hold at 3/4* until portal inclusion; and
3. Dabo!
I concede that the third option is highly unlikely, but it does exist. 🖖
Raffi is in my Dabo today.
About 10000 dilithium and she can be all

It could be a different version of Seven that is FR Seven? They could still be saving 'dual wield' Seven for a 5* card. We wont know until we see it. Though I'm with you. I would be annoyed if 'dual wield' Seven is a 4* card
I'm also quite happy to be able to get an interesting variant of Saru. It's about time a main character gets more variants than his sister who had a total of 5 minutes screen time...
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Yep but I have a feeling she will be a Tuesday pack person.
Is this tongue in cheek?........if not, wow!
Comparing her other versions and their rariety is irrelevant to me. For me this card, and her return to a new Trek show, means she is a legendary, and I'm extremely disappointed to see her as a Super Rare. She will see one event, and then be banished to the freezer for months until her next faction event. With the exception of Cheesecake Seven (who isnt truly Seven, she shares with the Doc) all other legend Sevens have appalling stats and very rarely see daily voyage work. I was excited to know a new Seven, in current Trek, a character actually doing something other than sit around giving inspirational speeches, and I'm genuinely saddened to see she will be frozen for the majority of players.

Her viability for most players is not entirely dependent on rarity. Depending on skill set, bases, and prof, as well as ship ability I'm sure many SR cards continue unfrozen for quite a few people.
I'm sure from the perspective of a player with years of the game behind them, having popular characters come out as Legendary is very desirable. But for players with less than a year under them, having them show up as SR is infinitely more desirable. A good SR can serve a newer player for a long time.
Should none of the popular characters ever come out as SR cards in the game? I think it's a bit selfish to think the game should serve longer playing members first and foremost. Putting popular characters in the SR pool puts them in the crews of more players and incentivizes them to keep playing. If all the SR cards were characters like Dr Stubbs, players in their first year would get bored never getting to use characters they want. Locking the most popular characters and depictions behind the exclusive gold border limits access to them.
Making Seven a good SR card puts her into the hands of more players and makes more players excited they can get her. This makes the game more popular, keeps more than just the three year token people playing and paying so they can have fun using the characters they love.
I'm looking forward to seeing what characters the rest of the Mega Event brings.
A happy player! Cool!
PS: You will get used to hearing the 'grumping' on the forum ... some folk would complain even if they got everything exactly the way they wanted it, when they wanted it, and it was tossed in as a 'freebie' to boot. LOL

Oooh I awesomed this, a very good reply! I've not been playing nearly as long as some of the veterans here, and I find it surprising how fast we stop using SRs. Maybe she will have some killer gauntlet stats? (I doubt it but one can hope) I still use Mirror Phlox quite often entirely due to his gauntlet prowess. Yes I agree that's it's great in time she will be added to voyages and lots of players will be able to get her. But for me, and perhaps I have been playing too long now, SRs are too easily forgotten about once they're in the freezer. I love Picard and his doggo and everytime I use them on a voyage I remember their scenes in the show and I smile. I won't be able to do that with Seven. I don't actually freeze any of my Sevens, I keep all of them active in my roster. Even Seven in Blue, but I'm not going to use her past this event. I'm truly disappointed, I guess. I have an absolute tornado of feelings floating around inside and it wasn't my intention to be selfish and entitled, I'm simply expressing my (strong) opinions on a public forum that encourages us to do so.

Upon rereading, I seem to have missed a point I wanted. I must have accidentally cut it.
Regardless of time served I think it can be easy to see the rarity of a card as a form of respect or acknowledgement of their popularity. I don't think the development side sees it the same way. I have personally been perplexed by certain choices. For instance, Captain Proton and Buster Kincaid are SR cards while the Robot and others are Legendary. Looking at it, it would be fair to assume the two characters around which the holoprogram was built, would be the cards you would expect to see given the honour of gold status. But when you consider it from the perspective of satisfying the most players. making the central characters more accessible as SR cards is the buy-in for the collection. To chance the dragon and complete the collection they place the cards that might have a more limited interest in as golds. There are certainly popular cards made as golds, in those cases the stats tend to be slightly better.
The logic seems to track so far with Elnor. He's not the most popular character. If you really want him you have to chase him. If you do chase him the reward is that he's better than the average 4/4 card. I believe the card logic for Mega events is to make popular cards more available to satisfy the most people during a period they see as a recruitment or player satisfaction period (when they expect a generally higher participation). In the off-mega events the golds tend to be more popular depictions with stats and abilities to inflate the popularity of the events between the big ones (when people might need more motivation to participate).
This actually makes a lot of sense. Now I've had the opportunity to calm down (I'm a bit passionate about the game, did you notice?) I can see that they've made the more expected popular cards easier to obtain, like Picard, Soji and Seven. Elnor is a difficult one, I actually expected him to be a single skill tbh.
They've made some of the most desirable cards difficult to obtain through Tuesday packs and I personally felt Cheesecake Sevens fusion was harsh.
Thank you for making your point in a logical and calm manner. I shall endeavour to approach situations like this in the future!
